Default RE: FS one by Horizon Hobbies

I am sure there will be people on here that like one over the other....kinf of like Futaba, JR, Hitech...The question is does it really matter...they are all good. I have G3, AFPD and FSOne. They all have the strengths and weaknesses. I am running on a Dell Inspiron laptop 2.1 Ghz Centrino with 2Gb of RAM and I have upgraded the video to the Nvidia 6800 Ultra (mobile card). I really think the flight model on this one is as good if not better than AFPD and G3. The install takes a while but I really like the interface on FSOne better than the others. It took me a while to figure out how everything worked, but once I figured it out it was not a big deal. I can select a plane and configure my 10x or 9303 and have it flying in a few seconds. I have not liked any of the flight sims the first few times I tried them out, but once I get used to them I like them all in one way or another.

I expect many on here are trying to install this program on an older computer. If you have anything less than a high end video card...give it up...this program will run ok on the $200.00 card at best buy...but you will get stunning effects on the higher end cards. Nvidia 6800 ultra or ATI X1400 or better will make this thing really come to life. Just my .02 worth...
